What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my HR expertise to foster a positive workplace culture and drive strategic HR initiatives.

I am a dedicated HR Manager with over 7 years of experience in managing end-to-end recruitment processes, employee relations, and compliance with labor laws. My journey in human resources has been marked by a commitment to fostering positive workplace cultures and enhancing employee engagement. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can implement strategic HR initiatives that align with organizational goals.

At Transglobal Cargo, I manage all HR functions, ensuring compliance with employment legislation while maintaining strong relationships between management and staff. My role involves addressing employee grievances, overseeing recruitment, and implementing performance management systems. I have a proven track record of reducing turnover and enhancing workforce engagement through innovative initiatives.

Previously, as an HR Manager at TimeLink Cargo, I was responsible for creating and maintaining employee records, conducting performance reviews, and ensuring compliance with BEE requirements. My experience spans various HR functions, including payroll administration, conflict resolution, and training facilitation. I am passionate about developing talent and supporting employees in their professional growth.
